Flame Out

from You Have a Shelter by Crystal Casey

/

lyrics

You toss around in the emotional pool
Your heart’s on fire and there’s nothing I can do
But just wish I could put that flame out
So that the waters would still

But only you can make it happen
Only you can see what I’m seeing in the reflection
I can stay stiff in this quicksand only so long
If you don’t calm down

And if the waters would still the sand would settle
We could see ourselves in this situation for what it is
So what is it?

I don’t have an answer for you
I don’t have a clue
I just get still and look into the astral waters
And see exactly what to do

So here we are and I fear you’ll drown
As you send yourself spiralling down
The wasteland of your circumstance
It’s out of control

And I hope you know I didn’t mean any harm
But if I flail around with my defensive arms
This little raft of mindfulness could turn over us
And we both would drown

I don’t have an answer for you
I don’t have a clue
I just get still and look into the astral waters
And see exactly what to do
Sometimes I don’t like what I see
But it really isn’t up to me
I can’t turn a blind eye and muddy-up the waters
That bind the heart to reality
